Wendy receives a message from her father, but at the same time she hears a knock on the door.
Wendy goes to opens the door first. It is Hoseok then.
Hoseok: "Can I come in? I have something very important to tell you!"
Wendy: "Ok..come in...!"
Hoseok comes in..
After a moment..
Wendy: "Umm...so.. something important..?"
Hoseok: " Ummm...."
He does not know how to start....
Hoseok: "Umm..."
Wendy is looking at him... waiting for to speak..
Hoseok looks at her says...
Hoseok: "Wendy.. . please don't get mad at me after telling you!"
Wendy smiles and nods.
Hoseok: "Actually, about me being a gay...I lied!. I am completely straight man"
Wendy's mouth falls open and she shooks her head.
Wendy: "No...no ...you are kidding right...well don't tease me like that Hope!.."
Hoseok: "No I'm not joking. It's the truth!!"
Wendy: "No no ...I hear you and Jimin cute talk at the hotel...you guys love each other...!"
Hoseok is stunned by that.
Hoseok: "Err.. I think there must be a mistake...Yep I definitely love Jimin but not in that way..! We are both men.!"
Wendy is still shaking her head.. " I hear it!"
Hoseok is smiling now.." I think what you hear was when we were practicing for a drama for our anniversary meeting at university...!"
Wendy is now nervous. "Really?"
Hoseok nods.
Wendy:" So why do you ask to marry if you aren't a gay...for f-fake marriage....!"
Hoseok:"Well, I still need a wife to get my current job!"
Wendy: "Why don't you tell me about your gender earlier?!"
Hoseok: "Because I don't want you to be shy away from me ...I want you to be comfortable around me?..."
Wendy is looking at him.."Why!!"
Hoseok: "Wendy.... please listen..I really want the job .. that is the truth .. but more than that, I don't want to lose you...and I want us to be more bonded than before...and yep I am also jealous of this Lee Min Hong.. I know he's ladies' man and I don't want you to be one of those ladies... besides I'm not so good with ladies...so I have to think of the way to bond with you more"
Wendy is now very surprised..and doesn't know what to say.
Wendy: " Are you telling me that..?"
Hoseok: "Yes..Wen..I love you...I don't know when....but I'm sure I have fallen for you...and don't want to lose you to any other guy... like I have been before!"
Wendy's mouth open again ... everything is so overwhelming to her right now..and she can't handle it anymore. She suddenly falls down and become unconscious.
Hoseok picks up her body and..
" Wen ..Wen..are you ok?"
*****
When Wendy wakes up again, it is already the morning.
She finds Hoseok sleeping on the other side of the bed. She touches his face with her fingers...
"Ummm so you really are the man!"
She sighs.
" Yes I am!"
Hoseok replies with still closed eyes. But then he catches Wendy's hand and kisses it.
Wendy suddenly stands up
"I'm not dreaming!"
Wendy looks at Hoseok again.
"You confessed .. you love me last night right!"
Hoseok nods shyly and says "Yes...but if you don't feel the same ... don't tell me back right now..we still have several more months to due the marriage contract and the deal!!"
At that, Wendy laughs.
Hoseok: "What's so funny!"
Wendy is thinking if she doesn't have a heart for this man..will it be a very awkward moment? But for some reason she is happy despite having tricked into a marriage... with someone she has crush on despite his gender.
Wendy: " Well , ever since I had been saved from drowning by a red haired boy in Jeju, my heart has been day dreaming about my prince charming and perfect soulmate... despite the fact that I thought he loved another boy..I have to keep all my feelings inside!"
Hoseok: " Are you confessing to me..you love me too?"
Wendy nods.
Hoseok is so happy he nearly cries and hugs Wendy. Wendy hugs him back. Before , going to work Hoseok is about to kiss Wendy on the cheek but before he could do Wendy kisses on his lips and he makes it even more passionate that Wendy has to stop..
Wendy: "It's daylight now ...I mean people will see..our parents I mean I am shy!!"
Hoseok: "Ok! I will come back tonight!!" and he blinks one of his eyes.
*********
"So , finally you learn the truth!!" Joy is saying.
Wendy nods.. blushing.
They are now at break time in hotel office.
" You look so happy too these days" Wendy shot back.
" Yes. I think I'm having a crush too!"
Joy tells the whole thing about her photoshoot days ago and the lustful photographer and how Jimin was protective of her.
" But then he is too higher than me!!"
"Maybe it doesn't matter if you two are in love with each other.. people can understand!!"
"Well I am not sure how he feels about me... maybe he is protective like this to his other models as well!" Joy says.
Wendy just sighs and shake her head.... then she remembers that her father messaged her to come back to home that evening to discuss something important.
******
That evening .
Joy is in the bookstore. She is looking through a fashion magazine...she is seeing her own photos taken with Jimin's company to promote his family clothing brand. Her image is even on the cover too. She is very happy. She takes the magazine and go to cashier. She holds the magazine up in case if the cashier recognised her... but the cashier lady looks at her like..."What are you doing kid?".. look..she doesn't recognise her...
Joy gives up at put down the magazine and paid for it.
Joy goes to the restroom and look at her face in the mirror. She looks so tired and her bare makeup is gone now ... She looks at herself and looks at the magazine cover...
"Umm...well the elegant lady in purple on magazine is not you, woman..!"...she continues"Umm.. maybe it's because it's night time that she doesn't recognise me. ... Maybe day time ...it will be more crystal clear..!"
Joy comes out of the restroom..she sees Lee Min Hong coming out with a lady...Joy recognise her...she held the wedding at Oriental Utopia Hotel....a distant relative of Jimin..she is married yet she seems to be so into Min Hong.
"That's disgusting!" Joy thinks..but then she sees Jimin ..with a lady too...the lady's eyes are so into Jimin too...who is she?
